I will never see what you see,
But my mind sees it.
I will never taste what you taste,
But my mind tastes it.
I will never feel your pain,
But my mind feels it.
I can never breathe what you breathe,
But my mind breathes.
I can never think what you think,
But my mind thinks.
I may never heed the same,
But my mind heeds.
Eyes to see,
Tongue to taste,
Body to feel,
Nose to breathe,
Mind to think,
Heart to heed.
Because I am made of sense organs,
Yet our mind can control different experiences.
